IS THERE ANY HOPE q
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS ss OF PULMONARY EXPERTS
Can the Universal Consumption bs
 Suooessfully Treated?

Dr. Borgeon, leading French doctor, has 8 new treatment for consumption.
 He gives an enema of carbonic acid sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the latter gas carrying the former into every part of the throat and lungs.
 This treatment, too, is directed at effects-the cause remains undisturbed.
 What this caus eis has been stated by perhaps the highest pulmonary authority in the world, |. c., tine Brompton Hos' pital for Consumptives, in London, Eng.
 This malady every year carries off from one-seventh to one-fifth of the entire population of England!
 Dr. Payne, M D., M.R.C.P., London, is authority for this statement
 The same or 8 greater proportion oi deaths obtains in America.
 Dr. Payne also says that one-half the total number of deaths from all other causes have seeds of this disease in the system which only require some irritant to develop German authority; NSB tnat Snsuhp- ton is caused by deficient nutrition ot the lungs, by poor blood. These authorities cannot be disputed. The medical world recognizes them. The uric acid is the irritant in the blood that causes the development of the seeds which Dr. Brehmer says lie dormant in the blood.
 Every particle of blood which passes | through the lungs and heart, also goes | through the kidneys, and if they are in | the least deranged they cannot rid the blood of its killing poison. The thousand | little hair-like sewer tubes of the kidneys | very easily get blocked up and diseased {; | and when they do, they corrupt instead of purifying the blood. Kidney disease | may exist, and yet no pain occur In that | organ. because it is deficient in nerves of sensation. l Dip your finger in acid every day and | it soon testers and is destroyed. Send acid poisoned blood through the lungs every second, and they soon give way.
 The Brompton Hospital investigation showed that 52 per cent. of the victims of consumption were afflicted with de- ranged kidneys, which permitted the uric acid poison to remain in the blood and irritate the lungs. This uric acid is al- ways fighting every vital organ, and if there be any inherent weakness in the lungs it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough and consumption.
 The real cause of pulmonary troubles
 being so authoritatively shown to be faulty even though unsuspected action oi >t the kidneys, explains why, in order to
 master the dreaded consumption, one
 must rid the blood of the uric acid irri-
 tant which inflames and burns up the
 lung substance. For this purpose there
 is nothing equal to that great specific,
 Warmers safe cure. This remedy has
 now the favor of medical men all over
 the world purely on it's merits. We have
 no doubt that if the kidneys are kept in
 natural action, consumption and great . many other diseases, caused by uric acid , will not only be cured but will be pre- vented.
 When the kidney is healthy, no albu. men appears in the water, but albumer is found in the water of more than hall 5 of those who die of consumption! This, then, is the condition of things 2 that always precedes consump ption 2 First, weakened kidneys; second, re tained uric acid, poisoning the blood n third, the development of disease II l. the lungs by the irritant acids passing Il through them. Then there is little cough in the morning; soon thick, yellow
 matter is spit up, followed by loss O
 flesh and strength, with dreadful night sweats; and when the patient goes to hi school physician for help, he is put or cod-liver oil which his stomach, weak i ened also by uric acid in the blood, can not digest. Because there is no pair
 present in the kidneys, the patient doe
 not think they are affected. but the kid
 ney acid is doing it's work every minute I-eyery hour, day and night, and by-and-b,
 tho disease of the lungs has advanced
 until pus is developed, then come hemor
 images, and at last the glassy stare whicl denotes that the end is near n A post-mortem examination of sucl !, cases shows that the terrible uric aci
 has completely destroyed the substanc
 of the lung.
 It is impossible to cure lung diseas 4 when the blood is poisoned with uri r.
